Miami-OH vs Akron Prediction

I’m going with Akron here. The Zips looked pretty good last weekend versus Central Michigan, notching 417 yards, 6.1 yards per play, 20 first downs and a nice 9-of-15 effort on third downs. The defense posted a 4-of-12 success rate on third downs but did give up 238 rush yards as well. It was a nice bounce-back game following a 45-3 loss to Toledo on September 27. It was also Akron’s third time scoring 28 or more points in the last four games.

As for Miami-OH, they handled Northern Illinois pretty well. The defense had a couple of takeaways alongside 220 yards, 4.3 yards per play, 11 first downs and 4-of-14 on third-down conversions allowed. That makes 25 or more points scored in three straight weeks for the RedHawks, following a couple of tough matchups to start the season. This weekend’s game could turn into a fairly high-scoring affair as well. Cover-wise I like Akron to power it out, though.
